| Could it have been a game other than a Cup game? We didn't play Warrington in the Challenge Cup at home in that period. Cup games were generally televised on a Saturday on Grandstand.

| I can remember playing Warrington in the cup around that time because I watched it in my bedroom on my new black & white portable!! Would have been a Saturday on Grandstand though.

| We played Warrington in the Premiership play off semi final in 1978, but that was away.

| I'm 99% sure that grandstand also used to feature league games at that time; there was also the floodlit trophy that was shown on weekday evenings.

There was the floodlit trophy but I don't think we ever played in it, due to not having lights back then. My actual recollection is that we got the new floodlights just as the beeb abandoned the competition, though I can't remember the dates.

| Northern switched on their new floodlights on the 27th November 1979 when we beat St Helens 13-9. The BBC2 Floodlit Trophy ran from the 1964-65 season until the 1979-80 season. Hull beat Hull KR 13-3 in the last final, at the Boulevard on the 18th December 1979 in front of 18,500.

It was Cas's almost total monopoly of the competition which scared you off getting floodlights.

I do remember Cas doing rather well in it. Think it might have worries over the leccy bill which actually stopped Northern from investing in lights earlier, well that and probably not having anything to invest, of course.
